I started trying this new technique I learned. I've read that hunger that feels like it's coming from the mouth or chest generally indicates emotional hunger, whereas actual actual feelings of physical hunger originate in the stomach. I paid attention to that yesterday, and tried to do something else rather than eat when I was emotionally hungry. Something I enjoy, like art, reading, writing, and playing games. Of course sometimes it's okay to eat in moderation for emotional hunger such as eating a meal that reminds you of a loved on once in awhile, or allowing yourself a treat sometimes. I'm just working on not giving into to that all the time, while at the same time not giving in to the restricting urges. It's all a balancing act I guess
